Greg, and Amg Merc, not sure they were bragging though!!

AMG merc did and yes, they do look awesome, really good job.

Sure he'll be along to tell all.

I had one sets rims polished and am waiting for the other set to come back at the mo. Getting them done gold!

Apologies, meant to post up some photos of tyhe new chromies but I seem to have used up my storage quota on fotopic so need to make some space first...

[AMG Merc]

Finally uploaded the wheel photos...

very nice. look good without studs. i know from having shadow chrome that your pics dont do them justice. Is the rim lacquered?

Which company done these? they look really good.

If all goes to plan I could be a noble owner at the weekend and might get the wheels done like you have.

Yes, oven baked and all over laquered. Only downside is both sides need to be done together should (when!) ding them.

V6Jim and NTH , et all:

Approx. £50 per wheel (plus a tenner per wheel to get rid of those pesky, waste of space, studs!). Mention me ("Noble Black Chrome" job) as I've sent others there and am looking at arranging a future discount plan!

Just over a week to do and you can leave your car there if you like (I didn't).

Funny you should say that ajg, I swapped for the dark grey lens LEDs but didn't like them so put the stock Ford one's back on. IMHO, the LED's are not as visible (read safe) side on as they only show up in a small field of view (approx. 70deg?) whereas the Ford part gives the maximum (180deg) field of view. Try to look at them in the dark from alongside the front or back of the car - not so visible.
